For day 5 of MB’s Book Challenge week, I’m suggesting Sam Harris’ Free Will. This book was 9th on my list of Things that F’d Me Up in Life. If you thoughtfully consider the arguments Harris makes, the short read is intensely painful. 📚

Guy Gavriel Kay’s The Lions of Al-Rassan, a historical fantasy novel set in Moorish Spain, is a “tale of brutality and romance.” There are scenes in this book that give me goosebumps, even on the fourth reading. 📚

Finished The Library at Mount Char, by Scott Hawkins today. I was expecting neither to enjoy this book as much as I did, nor to read it in one day, but here we are. Recommended with the warning that it is slightly dark in places. 📚

Travel complete and nominally successful! Except for the guy who sat in the aisle seat, same row, same side, after I sat in the window seat. And except for the second guy who did the same to me after I moved away from the first guy. 😒

Started my day calling out an Irish American man and a Cuban American woman on their body shaming of an African American woman, followed by being yelled at by the both of them as they defended their actions as “calling out non-professionalism.”
